Dear God the Albuquerque Police murdered Boyd. Those police were never in danger, not for one second. I don't give a damn what Mr. Boyd may or may not have done before. It is not at all unusual for the mentally ill to have scuffles with law enforcement and it is perfectly obvious Mr. Boyd was target practice as police clearly had no understanding of what real police work actually entails.
I demand those officers be held on the charges of murder! They did not allow him to surrender. They planned to kill him from the start. His death was assured.
No matter what path James Boyd took, the PROCEDURES at work on the scene assured he would die. That is institutional and enforceable murder. It could be anyone. This is institutional murder. The procedure has ONE outcome and if there is any deviation from that outcome the person is dead. It does not allow for dialogue, for confusion or for attempts to surrender in the way a person understands surrender. If the procedure doesn't go as PRESCRIBED the person dies.
Hair trigger. They sent a dog and a trained assassin on a park violation? I don't think so.
Illegal camping? That requires gunmen. I thought it would require a summons. There is a huge disparity in the level of violence by the police force. There was no way James Boyd was going to survive.
The police administrators are to be suspended immediately with an investigation to their methods and policies allowed among civilian populations.
Peaceful protests (click here) against the Albuquerque, N.M., Police Department's killing of James Boyd broke out into violence late Sunday night. The APD used tear gas and riot tactics to disperse crowds that hurled rocks and stopped traffic.
The International Community needs to register their objections against the murder of an innocent person in the USA.
This is police practice in the USA. It is defended by the media because they are told to villainize the victim of the shooting and ENFORCE the police standards practiced within that department.
This level of killing of innocent people who may or may not have mental illness issues have been repeated in the USA and not just New Mexico. Without effective changes in the USA to stop the unjustified killings by police in the USA it cannot be considered a safe country for tourism.
If this was any other country, it would be called a police state.
Does James Boyd have a family? If he does they need to defend their son or brother or husband. Does he have children? Someone needs to be his voice and demand justice for his murder. This was murder. There is no doubt and there is no justification for his murder.
These families across the USA need to come together to bring their pain and their losses before the country, the international community and ultimately Congress.
